It seems even football hasn't escaped the global domination of Facebook, but who are the most popular players with the greatest following and which players need more fans!
We've picked five of our favourite player pages for current stars, and five pages from retro players who've gained a cult following on the 'book, but don't quite have the same popularity as their modern counterparts!
CRISTIANO RONALDO 14,626,892 FANS
ANDRES INIESTA 2,850,478 FANS
STEVEN GERRARD 2,180,174 FANS
WAYNE ROONEY 1,766,252 FANS
DIDIER DROGBA 1,130,654 FANS
Unsurprisingly, it's Cristiano Ronaldo who is the most popular footballer on Facebook with a huge following of over 14 million fans, slightly embarassing his fellow pro's who are some way behind! Interestingly, we couldn't find a page for the player you'd think would challenge Cristiano's superiority - Lionel Messi. But after scouring Facebook for today's most popular players, we thought we'd have a bit of fun and check out the popularity of some of our favourite players from yesteryear...
PAUL GASCOIGNE 74,029 FANS
ROBERTO BAGGIO 9,563 FANS
TONY ADAMS 6,172 FANS
ROMARIO 774 FANS
MATT LE TISSIER 85 FANS
